Luke Austin Daugherty

Luke is an artist who deeply loves performing and puts his heart into sharing his music. As one who believes in collaboration and improvisation, he likes to keep things interesting for his audience...playing acoustic and electric guitars, with harmonica and live loops, it makes for a great show.

As a Pulitzer nominated poet, Momentum award winner and other songwriting award winner, he has released 7 indie label CDs and published 3 books of poetry. He has played from Indianapolis to Nashville, TN and back again. He's been from coffee houses to Conseco Fieldhouse and played from venues that featured other indies to Bruce Springsteen.

He has come a long way, but there is still work to do. And he has more in his heart that has to get out.
